If you’re like me, you’ve got a Mom. Give em’ a kiss today, and tell them you LOVE them! Being loved unconditionally by my parents and experiencing, for the first time, what loving MY girls unconditionally feels like has only allowed me to relate to my heavenly Father on a deeper level. He love, love, loves His creation and we were created to reciprocate that love. So, do it this morning! Don’t hold back! - Wil Brown

NOTES

G E N E S I S W O R S H I P T R A D I T I O N A L W O R S H I P

The events of Holy Week were a fulfillment of the Jewish festivals that occurred at the same time. Following on the heels of Passover, was the Feast of First Fruits; an agricultural festival in which the first stalks of grain were brought for blessing. This act opened the way and brought blessing for the main harvest which would happen some fifty days later (Pentecost). These stalks of grain were a hint of what was to follow. Paul picks up this very same theme in I Corinthians 15:20 where he says, “Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of the dead.” Just as the first stalks of grain open the way for blessing the later harvest, so Jesus, in His victory over sin and death, opened the way to eternal life for all who will follow. “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” It was also during this period of time between the festivals (Passover and Pentecost) that Jesus physically appeared to the disciples and others at various times in His resurrected, glorified body. This period of time reminds us again and again that there is life after death and great hope for the future for the followers of Jesus. This is the great Truth we speak in love to all those around us. - Dr. Dan Sharp

*Passing of the Peace St. Paul always greeted with the words, “The peace of God be with you.” This is an appropriate way to greet fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and so we say, “The peace of the Lord be with you” and respond, “And also with you.” We then pass this greeting of peace to one another. At the passing of the peace we should earnestly desire God’s peace upon each person we greet.

There are two right outside the Sanctuary: one in the Grand Hallway leading to the Edington Ministry Center, and one across from the entrance to the Prayer Room. If you’re in Lee Fellowship Hall, look for one to the right of the exit as you leave.

The bulletins are reused for the 11:00am worship service, and recycled on Monday morning.
